SWEENEY TODD, THE MUSICAL   When Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd opened on 
Broadway in 1979, it became an instant hit and later walked away with that 
year's Tony award—Broadway's highest honor.   The play joyfully tells the 
shocking story of Benjamin Barker, aka, Sweeney Todd, the vengeful English 
barber and his accommodating landlady. The brilliant musical play follows 
Sweeney as he plots his revenge against Judge Turpin, who sent him to prison on 
false charges—an act which causes the destruction of Sweeney's family. As 
Sweeney's revenge plot accidentally broadens to include other citizens of the 
corrupt society of Victorian London, his landlady, Mrs. Lovett, finds a way to 
cover up the barber's crimes as well as her own by making delicious meat pies of 
the barber’s victims! Through this darkly comic story, Stephen Sondheim and Hugh 
Wheeler explore the passion for and consequences of revenge.   Attend the tale 
of Sweeney Todd…. The last weekend in October… Halloween!
